Machado de Assis, Capitu, CapitolinusAbstract
Titus Livius describes in detail the rise and fall of Marcus Manlius Capitolinus during the heroic times of the Roman republic. The Capitolinus case was well known among the ancients. It was mentioned by Cicero in his political speeches and carefully examined by Plutarch in his Life of Camilus. In the Renaissance, Capitolinus’ fault is highlighted by Machiavelli and cited by Montaigne to illustrate conflicting political philosophies. In the late seventeenth century the case stills inspires a tragedy by Lafosse D’Aubigny that was often staged in Paris until the middle of the nineteenth century. The present article compares these diverse reappraisals of the Capitolinus case with Machado de Assis’s novel Dom Casmurro.
